Ecologel To enhance germina-tion rates and seedling survival, use Hydretain as part of your hydroseed-ing routine to provide more plant-usable water between scheduled waterings or rainfall. Applied with your seed, Hydretain attracts and collects individual water molecules, converting unavailable moisture vapor into plant-usable water droplets. This process protects seeds from drying out and reduces drought stress for improved establishment. www.hydretain.com/resources/literature/ Overseeding_sodding.pdf BTL Liners BTL has worked on major geomembrane projects all over the world. Travis Wilcox, BTL’s vice president, and Jared Santoro, G.M./VP, were respon-sible for coordinating the fabrication and deployment of 1.6 million SF (a 40-acre containment reservoir), using our extended UV reinforced polyeth-ylene liner material, in a record-setting four days. The client chose BTL for the proven ability to prefabricate and deploy ahead of the very short time constraint. Additionally, the harsh conditions of direct sunlight required a reinforced liner that would hold up for over 20 years. BTL has been servicing the geomembrane industry for over 35 years and has a state-of-the-art 84,000-square-foot fabricating facility capable of producing the largest, most reliable quality liners in the industry. www.btlliners.com Mat Inc.
